DRIVELUB SEAL SYSTEM


The electric motor is protected from ingress by a
double seal system with oil chamber.
A V-ring (A) made of nitrile rubber adheres like a
suction cup to the upper surface and constitutes a
first efficient barrier that prevents solid particles from
coming into contact with the mechanical seal.
The mechanical seal (B) made of silicon carbide
(SIC SEAL) is extremely resistant to abrasion thanks
to its exceptional hardness.
The second seal is a lip one (C). It is continuously
lubricated thanks to the rotation of the mechanical
seal spring which drives up the oil (ESSO MARCOL
82) conveyed by the pipe (D).

and flat as possible.
b) Temporarily secure the pipe support to the edge of the tank using 2 dowels.
c) Place the foot at on the bottom, ascertaining the correct position with a plumb line,
using the tube support as reference.
d) Secure the foot to the bottom with 4 dowels.
e) Attach the discharge pipe to the foot (see Hydraulic connection on page 17).
2. Complete the installation of the kit:
a) Insert the guide tubes in the foot.
b) Cut the top ends of the pipes so that they coincide with the support.
c) Unscrew the pipe support.
d) Insert the sliding bracket in the pipes.
e) Insert the support at the top end of the pipes.
f) Permanently secure the support to the tank wall.

3. DOMO GRI series only:


a) Remove one of the three support feet by unscrewing the M8x25 screw.
b) Re-tighten the screw.
Tightening torque: 13 Nm (115 lbf·in).
c) Repeat a) and b) for the other two feet.
4. Install the unit:
a) Screw the discharge port to the sliding bracket, placing the seal included in the kit
between the two.

4.3 Start and stop levels


The float switch controls the start and stop of the unit (intermittent operation).

NOTICE:
The unit may only operate for a few minutes while only partially submerged in the liquid, for
example during emptying operations.

DOMO, DOMO VX, DOMO GRI


To adjust the level difference between start and stop, change the length of the float cable
using the cable stop found on the handle:
• Short cable: decrease the distance between minimum and maximum level, more frequent
starts and stops.
• Long cable: increase the distance between minimum and maximum level, less frequent
starts and stops.
The figure shows the minimum (H1) and the maximum (H2) permitted levels for operation
depending on the model.

4.4 Hydraulic connection


DANGER:
All the hydraulic and electrical connections must be completed by a technician possessing the
technical-professional requirements outlined in the current regulations.

WARNING:
Piping must be sized to ensure safety at the maximum operating pressure.

WARNING:
Install appropriate seals between the unit couplings and the pipings.

4.4.1 Guidelines for the hydraulic system


1. Attach the piping, rigid or flexible, to the discharge port.
2. Support the piping independently to prevent it from weighing on the unit.
3. Install a check valve on the piping, at least 1 m (3.3 ft) from the discharge port.
4. Install a gate valve downstream the check valve.
5. For units without float to be used for automatic operation, install a device stopping the unit
when the liquid level reaches the minimum permitted limit, see Start and stop levels on
page 16.
The figure shows a typical installation.

DANGER:
All the hydraulic and electrical connections must be completed by a technician possessing the
technical-professional requirements outlined in the current regulations.

DANGER: Electrical hazard


Before starting work, check that the unit is unplugged and that the pump unit, the control
panel and the auxiliary control circuit cannot restart, even unintentionally.

4.5.1 Ground
DANGER: Electrical hazard
Always connect the external protection conductor (ground) to the ground terminal before
attempting to make any other electrical connections.

DANGER: Electrical hazard


Connect the pump unit and any electric accessories to a socket with protection conductor
(ground).

DANGER: Electrical hazard


Check that the external protection conductor (ground) is longer than the phase conductors; In
case of accidental disconnection of the unit from the phase conductors, the protection
conductor must be the last one to detach itself from the terminal.

DANGER: Electrical hazard


Install suitable systems for protection against indirect contact, in order to prevent lethal electric
shocks.

4.5.2 Guidelines for electrical connection


1. Check that:
• The mains voltage and frequency match the specifications on the data plate
• The supply cord is protected from high temperatures, vibrations, collisions and
abrasions.
2. Check that the power supply line is provided with:
• a short circuit protection device of appropriate size
• a mains disconnection device with contact opening distance ensuring complete
disconnection for overvoltage III category conditions
• an RCCB earth leakage switch with tripping current < 30 mA.

4.5.3 Guidelines for the control electric panel


NOTICE:
The electric panel must match the ratings on the unit data plate. Improper combinations could
damage the motor.

• Install appropriate devices for protecting the motor from overloads and short circuits:
Motor Safety features
Single-phase • Automatic reset thermal-ampere protection, in-built (motor protector)
• From short circuit, by the installer: aM fuses (motor start-up), or thermal magnetic switch
with C curve and Icn ≥ 4.5 kA, or other similar device.
Three-phase • Thermal, by the installer: trip class 10 A overload thermal relay + aM fuses (motor start-
up), or start class 10 A motor protection thermal magnetic switch
• From short circuit, by the installer: aM fuses (motor start-up), or thermal magnetic switch
with C curve and Icn ≥ 4.5 kA, or other similar device.

• If required, install phase failure sensitive thermal relays.


Motor protection from overtemperature
• Single-phase: the unit is equipped with built-in capacitor and thermal overload protection,
and stops automatically in case of overtemperature. After 2-4 minutes the thermal overload
protection gives the restart consent.
• Three-phase: Install an appropriate motor protector with D curve in the control panel, in
accordance with the current shown in the data plate.

5 Use and operation


5.1 Precautions
DANGER: Electrical hazard
Do not use the unit in swimming pools or similar places when people are inside.

WARNING: Electrical hazard


Check that the unit is properly connected to the mains power supply.

DANGER: Injuries hazard


Do not insert your hands at the bottom of the unit when in operation: risk of personal injury
caused by moving components.

WARNING: Injuries hazard


The unit, equipped with a single-phase motor with automatic reset thermal overload
protection, could restart inadvertently after it has cooled down: risk of physical injury.

WARNING:
It is prohibited to put combustible materials near the unit.

WARNING:
Do not hold the unit by the handle during operation.

WARNING:
Make sure that the drained liquid cannot cause damage or injuries.

NOTICE:
In case of outdoor use, the length of the supply cord must exceed 10 m (33 ft).

NOTICE:
Dry run of the unit is forbidden.

NOTICE:
Make sure that the suction port is completely submerged in the liquid before start-up.

NOTICE:
The unit may only operate for a few minutes while only partially submerged in the liquid, for
example during emptying operations.

See Mechanical characteristics on page 26.

20 DOMO, DOMO GRI - Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual


en – Original instructions

If during the operation the unit is partially uncovered:

WARNING:
Be aware of the extreme heat generated by the unit.

5.2 Rotation direction check (three-phase motors)


1. Place the unit in the vertical position on a level and flat surface.
2. Looking at the unit from the top, start and then stop it immediately: the rotation direction is
correct if the unit impulse movement at start-up tends to turn it clockwise. This means that
the motor is turning clockwise as it should.

5.3 Starting and stopping


Float switch version
1. Connect the plug to the mains and/or turn on the switch: depending on the position of the
float, the unit stays idle or starts to operate.
2. With the unit in operation, check that:
• No liquid is leaking from the pipes
• There is no unwanted noise or vibrations
• There are no vortexes nearby the suction port
• Liquid is actually being pumped.
3. When the float reaches the low position (minimum liquid level), the pump automatically
stops.
Version without float switch
1. Connect the plug to the mains and/or turn on the switch: the unit starts.
2. With the unit in operation, complete the same checks as for the float version.
3. Once the unit has taken up liquid to the minimum level, disconnect the plug from the mains
and/or turn off the switch to switch it off.
